Lafayette’s Farewell Tour Lecture Series
Lafayette’s Farewell Tour saw the French 67-year-old last surviving major general of the American Revolution triumphantly return to the country he loved. From August 15, 1824 to September 9, 1825, Lafayette covered over 6,000 miles by carriage, stagecoach, canal barge, and steamboat, traveling to all 24 existing states, as well as visiting Frederick.
Join Dr. Patricia L. Maclay of the American Friends of Lafayette for a series of talks to learn more about the Marquis de Lafayette. Topics covered will include Lafayette and Human Rights, Abolition, Civil rights for Women and Native Americans, and Conservation and Sustainability. Develop a broader appreciation of Lafayette, a much more multifaceted man than is presented in school history classes. Attend one, attend two, attend them all.
